Oh Darling
wife and cute little daughter
Sweet home was
it with frail old mother
But the heart
was yearning always
Sailor’s dream
had no worldly ways
Ocean was
calling, so was the mighty thunder
Living
ordinary would never be captain’s blunder
Thousands of
miles away from the motherland
In search of
new frontiers, new seas, new land
The raging
waves, the roaring wind
Deafening
darkness, seemed daily grind
Hovering
vultures, sickening salty air
Empty
stomachs, lips muttering prayer
How he rose
above all the petty and gory
Discovery of
America brought him the glory!
